I am a 26 year old Latino with some acne breakouts here and there but what bothers me most is my oily skin, blackheads, and the hyperpigmentation of my skin. It's just not smooth or clear. I started using the clay dermal cleanser a little over a week and I love it and I can already see the results. Issue the cleanser twice a day, morning and night and night (along with Pure light moisturizer) and my skin is already evening out and it's only been a week. The cleanser is nice and refreshing and doesn't dry out my skin. I would recommend it for sure!

I use this cleanser in the morning to clear up my combination skin that suffer from hormonal acne. This cleanser has worked really well at not drying out my skin but still creating a matte look when dried. I really like this product and it removes makeup easily as well. I use this along with the skin smoothing cream and am loving the results!

I use this product every morning and night as part of my skin care regimen! I suffer from oily skin and this wash absorbs my oils and leaves my face clean and matte. I will never use anything else again! At 30 years old I was still getting zits. No more!

My better half has tended to tell me multiple times that I buy too many skin care products. I am very thankful that I finally tried Dermalogica, because it appears to be the holy grail for my skincare regime. I use the precleanse followed by dermal clay cleanser and it makes my skin feel fresh as can be! I started to get small cystic like acne on my chin and jawline and this with the combination of my retinoid have helped me regain a clear and youthful complexion! Can't wait to try other products that I hear so many good things about!

I have been using this cleanser for over 20 years. Initially, I was battling oily skin. Even tho I am now in my 50's, I still keep a bottle on hand to use occasionally when wanting a deeper cleansing like after working in the yard. I have never experienced any dryness from using this clay cleanser. It is a great cleanser yet still gentle on the skin. And, I LOVE the aromatherapy experienced while cleansing. Feels like I am in a spa.

I have oily skin and this cleanser is amazing! It has a tingly/cooling sensation when applied which I think feels incredible. What I love most about this product is after I use it - my face is clean, but not dry. A lot of other products I've used for oily skin strips out all of the moisture to combat my excess oil, but this leaves my face clean yet moisturized. I'll definitely be buying this product again.

Dermalogica makes the best cleansers I've ever used. This and the special cleansing gel are my favorites. Amazingly, for a cleanser that is purifying and made to remove excess oils, I don't find this drying at all for my normal skin.

I like to let this sit on my skin like a mask while I shower and I still don't find it drying. It has a minty feel, which is nice enough, though if memory serves is sometimes a bit strong for the eyes -- not a big deal though.

If you sometimes have buildup in your pores this does a great job of cleaning it up (better than the Special cleansing gel). I use this on its own or after the pre-cleanse.

I've been using this cleanser for over 5 years now. It works amazing for oily skin. It doesn't leave my skin tight or dry. It removes all makeup and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. You can also leave it on for a few minutes and it works as a quick masque.

Does the dermal clay cleanser cause drying for combination skin?: Hi, I have combination skin. I really want a cleanser that works on reducing pore size. But, keeping my skin hydrated is also something that I have to be on top of. Would the dermal clay cleanser be right for combination skin, or would it cause too much drying? Thanks so much!
